A history timeline that puts historical events into perspective for family
historians

If you’re like the family historian or genealogist in most families, you’ve
worked long and hard to gather information about your ancestors and you
love telling stories about all of your great finds. But have
you also answered the question of “what was the world like during each person’s
lifetime" so that you can include that in your interesting stories
as well. What historical, financial, and military events, inventions, and advances
in communication, medicine, and transportation were taking place and shaping
everyone's lives? Do you have these revealing answers stored with your genealogy
data so that they are ready to be shared and enjoyed by your children, grandchildren,
and other family members? If not, you may be missing a golden opportunity to
have fun and enrich the lives of your family whenever the subject of family
history comes up.
Being aware of the events that occurred during a person’s lifetime adds a
great deal of value to your research and the interesting and insightful stories you like to
tell. Broadening your knowledge of U.S. history and being aware of what life was like in the past
creates the basis for some very interesting discussions among family
members as well. We believe you'll find our history timeline series to be fun to read,
a great asset to any storyteller, and a valuable addition to your history
and genealogy
research collection.
But beyond the hours of enjoyment and lots of new information of the type you
like to have in your arsenal for family history storytelling, there is nothing more gratifying and heart-warming than hearing your
children or grandchildren say "I want to be as good of a storyteller
as you are when I grow up." This is what we hope
you'll get the most of as a result of owning our history timeline product.
Like hugs and kisses, it's impossible to put a value on those few precious
words and the feelings they evoke when you hear them, but in the end, that's what counts the most.

Enjoy history and discover the facts you want to know in a fun, interesting, and easy way!

All of us who have been bitten by
the genealogy bug share the same desire - to enable our descendants to
better understand our lives and those who came before us. But, very
few of us have the luxury of time to read all of the history books necessary
to get the basic
answers that we're really in search of as genealogists and family
historians. In our first to be released History Timeline Volume
#4 covering the years 1910 through 2011, you'll discover thousands of facts
which will provide answers to questions as basic as when did you, your parents, or your
grandparents:

Have indoor plumbing or even
toilet paper on a roll as basic conveniences

Have sliced bread and a
toaster to toast it in, or TV dinners and a microwave

Have a ballpoint pen,
touch-tone phone, email, or a cell phone to communicate with

Have radio, TV, 45's, LP's, a
transistor radio, 8-track tape, a Sony Walkman, or a VCR for
entertainment

But our timeline of useful facts doesn't just contain information about inventions, even though
the dates for many of them will amaze you. Each
year is also packed with information about what was happening in each of the
following twelve categories:

Population and growth - shown every 10 years

Communication & publishing

President (including
party affiliation)

Medicine, discoveries & exploration

Memorable events
during the year

Inventions

Wars, battles & the
military

Cultural
& entertainment

Financial & monetary
events

Conveniences

Transportation

Buildings, landmarks & cities

Why are our history timelines
so
unique?

Really great storytellers love to
have an endless arsenal of colorful and interesting information that they
can easily weave into the fabric of the subject matter they love talking about
most. We believe you'll find our history timelines totally unique
because as family historians, history buffs, and avid storytellers ourselves,
we've included the types of information and events that you and other family
members will find the most fun, useful and interesting. It's not just information; it's
history in perspective to other events that were shaping life at the
same time. By combining twelve different subject categories together in a single
timeline covering 100 years, you'll be able to easily see the short and
long-term changes and trends that influenced your ancestor's lives. As Goldilocks might say - it's not over-done, it's not under-done, it's
just right!

It's a wonderful and
easy-to-understand reference tool to help you better understand and describe what life was
like when you or your parents or grandparents were growing up. All of
the meaningful events, discoveries, inventions, and conveniences of the time
are laid out chronologically to make your storytelling easier. No
single book or history timeline that we researched contains all of this
information. Our timelines are a compilation of research from hundreds
of sources which have been painstakingly condensed down to give you a clear
and concise overview of history during any time period. Many of the
short entries will probably spark your interest to learn even more about
some of the events.

While there are many
history timelines available, none are as complete or cover such a broad
range of subjects in an easy-to-read format. Most are narrowly focused
in their content while some are utterly boring because of all of the facts
and events that are included. Most importantly, none lend themselves
to the type of brief and interesting information that family historians and
storytellers want
to own.

You'll enjoy and be amazed at all
of the facts and events that you never knew or have long forgotten. As
you review volume 4 and get a feel for the rapid pace of development and
invention going on throughout the past century, not only will you be astounded, you will also be left
wondering where is all of this heading. Two things are for certain.
It has been a slow methodical process that your ancestors were a part of,
and there will be countless more changes, discoveries, and inventions in the
future that will continue to come at an increasingly rapid pace.

Broaden your history and genealogy research collection today
and become the storyteller everyone loves to listen to with Volume 4
today!

We are now releasing volume 4 of
our history timeline collection covering the years 1910 though 2011. Volumes 1-3, which will cover the years 1607
through 1909 in 100 year increments, will be released later.

Volume 4 is definitely a nostalgic
view of history for readers of all ages because we can all relate to part of
it. You'll see the 20th century unfold
and evolve in a way you've never before experienced. Your ancestor's
lives take on an interesting new perspective when they are viewed against a
backdrop of history and innovation that is chronologically laid out in an
easy-to-read fashion.
These are things that directly impacted the quality of life - not just
obscure historical facts. As you travel across the timelines, you'll
walk away with a greater appreciation of the hardships your ancestors faced
when compared with life today. The significance of their hardships and
accomplishments becomes even more meaningful when you understand the
historical events that were happening at the time.

If you're like most family
historians and want to know not just who your ancestors were, but also what
the world was like during their lifetimes, we hope you’ll enjoy this easy & concise guide to
U.S. history. Not only
will you and your family enjoy the historical insights and nostalgia now,
but it is something that future generations will enjoy as well. So

product today that will put your colorful storytelling back into high
gear. Volume 4 is a trip down memory lane that your whole
family will enjoy!
